Candora
Female - 25-30
Young leading lady. Spinsterish, yet pretty soothsayer. Heroine with elating soprano voice, fascinating eyes, and devastating candor. Should also have belt voice.

Pectorus
Male - 35-40
Robust, stalwart messenger. Bass/baritone (to high F). Powerful and muscle-bound, yet afraid of mice. A vulnerable soldier-type who is comically romantic.

Zircony
Female - 25-30
Voluptuous, bejeweled opportunist who reforms. Constantly flirting and dissembling. Mezzo-soprano with gorgeous figure; sloe-eyed and sensuous; material-girl quality.

Asphodel
Male - 20 - 28
Brother of Zircony and the fabled Narcissus, only more beautiful and self-absorbed. Childlike ingenuousness, with impulsive outbursts. Afraid of the world at large. Slightly dopey tenor (to an “A”).

Nebula
Female - 20 - 30
Spacey, pixyish visionary. Often possessed by spirits' voices, yet strangely insightful. Unique soprano voice with a wide-eyed, childlike ingenuousness akin to that of Asphodel. Should be able to improvise famous voices, à la Forbidden Broadway.

CY
Male - 25-35
A Cyclops. Nebula's protective guard and traveling companion. Tall, well-built, and dashing with a mythological quality— like a super hero. A plain-talking, straightforward crusader with an irresistible baritone voice.

Hernia
Female - 35-40
Charismatic goddess of disorder. An all-out villainess who revels in black magic and cruelty. Tall, seductive, hilariously evil alto, who may have the aura of a nightclub star.

Apollo / Waspra / Zeus
Male - 35-45
The grandiose, quintessential sun god. Doubles as Zeus, as well as Waspra— a mythic Greek monster, half-human and half-monster. Funny character actor with a strong baritone voice. Imperious, with the theatricality of a game-show host. Adept at fast/patter song.
